........I went through a successful assassination back in high school. I was a sophomore and the school plan that day (a large school) was that classes would be let out right after noon so everyone could drive down and see Kennedy driving down Congress Avenue in downtown Austin.

Instead, sitting on the stage in the lunchroom watching the girls eat lunch the PA system came on and the principal announced Kennedy had been “shot in Dallas in a motorcade”. About 30 mins later he announced he was dead. All the girls and a few women teachers started crying.

School let out anyway.

Barry Goldwater started the American Awakening, was fried for trying to “nuke the world”. Regan continued, realized it and left US shining example how America should be, as founded by the bright and brave Founding Fathers.
Let’s fight the commie scum, help the future Reaganites to clean up the RINO and RAT parties and get the American engine back on the tracks of freedom and prosperity.
Ukrainian Maidan showed how to speedup things.
